Here in Nebraska we've had one of those laws for a while. Distracted driving phone use keeps going up.
Same here in Maryland. Law enforcement makes all these excuses, not to enforce the law.
But it is more than illegal use of a cell-phone.
Today, I was the passenger in my elderly mother's car, as she was driving(I don't have a license). She kept commenting on what she saw. From the odd shape n' color of another house. To the color of another car. It is fine to be 'happy about life'. But when a driver is more focused on 'entertaining themselves'. Instead of focusing on the road. They become a danger to themselves', and other road users.
